@cwizardone, since this seems to your thread, maybe you know.
What happened to virtualbox download page just recently? Used to be download linux for all distributions, can't seem to find it now, I found this by accident.
In the attachment, last several versions of vbox, I've been getting that bar thing on the right, can't see lilo menu, I've just ignored as it's either bug or feature and my vm's are fine.
Anyone else getting this, what is it. I keep thinking with each vbox release it might go away but hasn't.
I had this problem in Virtualbox 7.0.x which is why I stuck with the 6.1.x branch for the time being. I mostly use Qemu/KVM anymore so I hadn't bothered to check if this had been fixed in the 7.x branch.

Someone has been tinkering with the web site the last few weeks.
One time everything is in order, the next time something is missing.
Your are correct, i.e., when the page is working properly, you click on
"downloads" and then you want the last on the list, "All Linux..." or
whatever it is called. Doesn't come to mind at the moment. You right click on
it and pick "save link as."
I first noticed the trouble on the test build page. Sometimes there are no test builds or development snapshots listed. At the moment there are two test builds listed, but no development snapshots. The heading is there, but nothing listed beneath it.
All we can do, is keep checking back.
For what it worth, the 7 series test build works well on this box.
BTW, of the test builds and developement snapshos you want the one
labeled, Linux 64-bit, for Slackware.

yea I did qemu, I guess I'm a little lazy using vbox

If it wasn't for virt-manager I probably would still be using Virtualbox for most things. I still use and really like Virtualbox, but once you get a taste of near bare metal performance you get with Qemu/KVM its hard to go back to Virtualbox.

Like if I click the link you provided in #493, click Download VirtualBox 7.0, where is the download?

Switching to the text boot menu in lilo.conf is a solution. Vbox 7 does not like the bitmap menu.
I've been meaning to cut the cord on vbox too, just haven't yet.
